"Our volunteers enable us to extend our mission, especially through our pet therapy, adoption hub teams and foster carers who champion the human-animal bond. Our ability to rehome so many animals each year is largely because of the work of our volunteers."

Dr David Cunliffe - Head of Hospital, Lort Smith
